The "P commanded by MiAur,is, is stated in t he French Papers to have been sunk, but he fortunately escaped on board another vessel. Al; tho ugh the Greek account asserts the loss of the urks to amount to lb vessels, it is admitted, that t he Greeks also lost four vessels, the crews of * hich,however, were " almost all saved." Inde pendently of the notorious inflation and bombast et the Greek statements, this admission is, of qself, sufficient proof of the real issue of the con. ttict VIENNA, JAN. 21 According to accounts from Constantinople of the 25th Dec., little information of any consequence had been received from the theatre of war, since the last post. A letter of Admiral dated off Clarenza, inserted in the Hydra Gaxette of Mj ' d December, fully confirms the news of his unsuccessful a ttack on the division of the Turkisk fleet, stationed at the en• tranc e of the Gulf of Baas.

It Is the subject of general conversation, conjectures," ate. And as postcript of the tenth :—" The death of the Em peror Alexander has been announced to the garrison of Nis. solonghi. The chiefs have ordered a day of fasting and prayer for the late Autocrat." Not satisfied with this, the two Journals (see the Nos. of 12th Jan.) have a second letter addressed to them from Zante, of the seventeenth of December, in which it is repeated that " the death of the Emperor Alexander is the subject of every conversation, and gives rise to many reflections." Some of the latter are added, which are too miserable to be inserted here. Nobody (scarcely excepting those who placed Taganrog on the Persian frontiers) will deny that the melancholy news of the Emperor Alexander's death could not reach Zante by any public channel earlier than from Constantinople, and the for. gers of the lies own this themselves. Now the news was not re ceived at Odessa till the 10th, at Vienna till the 14th, at Con stantinople till the 22d December. If the ship, which they say arrived in seven days from Constantinople at Zante, could make the news known there on the 9th, it must have been known at Constantinople, not on the 22d, but on the 2d December, that is, 24 hours after the fatal event (or rather, as the letter says the ship brought the news on the Bth, it must have been known at Constantinople on the Ist, the very day of the Emperor's death). This new palpable truth was not necessary to convince every body who had the smallest idea of historical critisim, that the pretended Greek Correspondence of their two long rival noto rious Journals, were all manufactured at Paris, whatever forged titles they might bear. But in the case before us, it is remarkable that the Journal des Debats, on the 19th December, on occasion of an account in the ifonitour, which was very dis. agreeable to the Philhellenes, had the assurance to praise its Correspondence in Zante, in the following terms :—" A man of influence and judgment who well knows what he says, who unveils all cabals, of the noblest sentiments, and incapable of • dieguring the truth."—This enlightened and veracious Cor. respondent has now unmasked himself as he was not pru ▪ dent' suOugh to avoid anachronisms which the worst writer in Zante could not commit, and of which none but a blundering pseudo Correspondent at Paris could be guilty.—(Jarlrian Observer, January, 22, THE Lono CUANCELLOR.--The answers given this day were, 66 his Lordship is a little better." lie did not pass so good a night as on Thursday, but was more free from pain than last night. Nsw 'MEMBER TOR NORTLIUMIIERLAND.-13y a Letter, received from Newcastle.upon.Tyne this morning, we understand there is every likelihood that the Hon. THOMAS LIDDELL, eldest soil of Lord RAVENSWORTII, will offer himself for the representation of the County of North umberland, vacant by the demise of CHARLES JOIIN I3II.AND LIXO, Esq., as the Honourable Gentleman passed through Newcastle in a chaise and four, at an early hour this morning (Feb. 2), on his way to Alnwick Castle, the seat of his Grace the Duke of NowrituAtlaltLAWD, who of course ought to be first consulted at such acrisis. Mr. LIDDELL is a young man of considerable promise, and we dare say will be highly accept. able to the great body of the freeholders. Ilia political senti. ments are strongly in favour of his Majesty's present Ministers The rumour that the Ministers intend to for ward the business of the Session of Parliament, so as to finish it by the end of May, preparatory to a dissolution, gained support yesterday evening, from the circumstance of all the Public Accounts having already been ordered, and from fixing the last day for Reports on Private Bills for May 1. Last Session it was May SO.—(ls/eraN.) At an early hour yesterday morning one of the Secretaries of Sir CuAItLES STUART, our Ambas sador at Rio de Janeiro, arrived at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, with dispatches to Mr. Secretary CANNING. Mr. D'AnonAtn, Secretary to the French Em bassy, returned on Thursday from Paris, bringing with him the ratifications of the treaty of Navi gation between this country and France. Yesterday morning Mr. J ACKSON, one of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland's Messengers, arrived in Loudon from Dublin with dispatches from the Loan LIEUTENANT. S ome time since paragraphs appeared in the stating, that during the dis dtuiffrbearenicletsPwa'hpeicrisi,took place at St. Petersburgh, all the letters which were destined to our dif ferent merchants here, were opened previous to their being forwarded, and that this, in a great measure, accounted for the deficiency of political news in them. We are informed, this account is altogether untrue, and that most of our Russian merchants, who are In the constant receipt of letters from Russia, state, that their letters are, in the first instance, wafrred, and then sealed in such a manner, as totally to prevent their being opened without its being known ; besides which, the bulk of the letters are not at the Post-office two hours previous to being dispatched for Eng land. This alone would preclude the possibil ity of their being open ed and resealed in time ; ut, in fact, we have not heard of any letters to our merchants here being opened previous to their delivery. AccoUNTANT GENERAL. ---VIN LORD CDAN CELLOR has been pleased to appoint J. S. 11.se vey, Esq., one of the Masters in Chancery, to the office of Accountant General, in the place of the late J.

REMARICABLZ DAY.—This day is remarkable as the anniversary of the abolition of the lesser monasteries by order of Henry the Eighth, in 1536. By this act three hundred and seventy• six monasteries were suppressed, and the revenue, amounting to 32.,0001. per annum, given to the King, besides their plate and chattels, computed to be worth 100,0001. This day i% also the an niversary of the birth of George Lille, dramatist, author of George Barnwell, 1693; of the death of Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury, at Naples, 1713. SILK TRADE.—A meeting WaS )11'1(1 at TAUS. TON, on Monday last, of persons interested in the silk trade, at which a petition to Parliament, praying for a continuance a the prohibition of French silks, was unanimously agreed to. lu the fourteenth century the shops in Paris were opened at four o'clock in the morning ; the King of FRANCE dined nt eight in the morning, and retired to rest at the same hour in the evening When the laws with regard to silk goods come into complete operation, it is highly probable that the principal sent for that manufacture will eventually be in Dublin and other parts of Ire land—where the price for weaving is, we are in formed, lower than in France. At present Irish silk goods are liable to seizure in England, under the pretence that they are foreign.—(Stockport ~I(lvertiser.) Flar..—At an early hour yesterday morning, the extensive premises of Mr. STAFF, rope maker, of Staple-street, Borough, was discovered to be on fire. The devouring element threatened destruction to the whole neighbourhood although six engines were on the spot. To much praise cannot be bestowed on the firemen of the Surrey and Sassex engine, which was the last that ar rived, hut the first and only one which played upon the premises. Al r. 11 all, the Chief Consta ble, and the greater part of the officers of Union Hall, were in attendance, and prevented the depredations too common on such occasions. AconxNT.—Yesterday afternoon, as a one, horse chaise-cart was proceeding along the Kent road, a fine boy, named Norman, about nine years old, in his attempt to cross the road at the moment the vehicle was passing, he was acci dentally knocked down by the animal, and be fore the driver could pull up, the wheel passed over his body. The cries of the sufferer speedily brought several persons to his assistance, and, on minute eximinntion, it was ascertained that no bones were broken,neitker did it appear the youth received very material injury. lie was con veyed to his friends at Bermondsey, dreadfully frightened. SENDING LETTERS EY COACIIES.--We are in formed that an officer especially deputed by the General Post Office, assisted by four policemen, stopped the two stage coaches which ran be tween this city and Shibbeleen, and also the Bandou Coach, on Monday last. After a very diligent search of the latter, be discovered two letters, one enclosed in a sealed bag, and the other (a few lines written on an unsealed piece of paper) accompaying a message from one lady to another, with a few articles as patterns. The officer had the proprietor fined ten pounds the following day, at the Innis hannon p ett y sessions, to whom, however, he made a proposition, that if he would prosecute the persons who had sent the letters, the penalty sh ould be redueed to five i poun ds, but to h the proprietor dis sented a nd im med iately paid the money.— The coachmen, .&c. &c. of the Skibbereen coaches h a d each a considerable number of letters taken from them.

POETRY. TO HOPE. Say, Fancy's gayest minion, why— Of rich and poor the guest, Thou lcav'st me thus to sigh, And shun'st me like the rest. Am 1 less tender, fair than those Round whom thine Iris curtains close, That o'er my couch you seem to fly, But never linger or come nigh. Once, Hope, with me you lov'd to dwell, In smiling colours Brest, Enchanted by thy fairy spell, The morn and evening blest. Thy friendly call and presence bright, The o'er-fraught visions of delight, In my lone ear, and to my heart, Breath'il all the magic of thine art; Then why so fearful grown of late, Or why this timid air, 1 cannot help the shafts of fate, Or sullen brow of Care. If now less joyful than before My harp hatli music still in store, And if more sad its fitful strain— One look from thee will make it sweet again. E. S, UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE EDITOR Or THE SUN. St tt—i letter having appeared in your Paper of Wednesday respecting Mr. PELBY, and sun, dry direct puffs having found insertion in other quarters, I am induced to write some few words on the subject, and hope, as you found room for the why, you will for the wherefore. I presume you would consider it necessary for an Actor, be fore he attempted the heroes of Su Ax.srxsate,that he should be at least a good English scholar, that his pronunciation should be quite correct, and that he should not pervert the meaning of his Author, by whole scenes at a time. Yet that such was the case on the above gentleman's ap. pearance, is beyond a doubt. There is a pretty considerable deal 44 of cant about kindness to a stranger," which I am not to be taken in by. These talkers after this fashion are always for the whole world becoming brothers, and yet, when an American visits his Mother, England, she is to receive him with a formal cour. tesy, and the tongue-tied language we:would use to 44 a stranger." had an English. Ac.. tor, either here or in America, endeavour. ed to foist such an exhibition on the public, and called it a representation of Hamlet, I have sufficient reliance on the sense of 'both nations to feel convinced he would have " been damned all on one side," and never heard of snore. Besides, this Gentleman was but en actor of third-rate characters in his own country, and, with submission, I think an actor ought to have sustained, or be thought competent to sustain, first-rate characters, previous to attempting them, where a Garrick, a Kemble, a Cooke, a Kean, a Macready, &c. &c., have delighted by their genius. The remark about his figure and height is laughable, and smells strongly of the calculators. Pray do they calculate merit by the foot? Mr. Pelby may overtop Kean in inches, but never in merit. His graceful action consisted in placing his finger to his temple, or moving his hands, with his elbows fast to his sides ; if this be grace, it cer, tainly is now to us. His neva rending!—but do you think the many learned men who have care. fully conned every word of our immortal Bard, were all in error, or did not know the true sense of what they read ? It is en insult to their names. Do you think, Sir, the Managers would not jump at a talented tragedian when they are at this very time so much in • want of one ? Uo you think, Sir, Mr. Elliston er Mr. Kemble are so blind to their own interests as not to engage a man with the great novelty of coming from another country, if his talent approached to excellence, or they thought the applause on this occasion 66 genuine ?" The question answers it.. self. I am, Sir, Your's respectfully, JOHN BULL, NOR.TII AND SOUTH' AMERICAN SUBSCRIPTION ROOM, FM 4.
